"THE  VIRGINIA" 

s 

HIS  hotel  was  erected  by  Mr. 
Leander  J.  McCormick,  so  well 
known  from  his  long  connection 
with  the  "McCormick"  Reaper,  and 


every  detail  of  construction  and  furnishing  has  been  carried  out 
with  the  intention  to  produce  an  absolutely  fire-proof  building, 
and  a  finished  hotel  second  to  no  other.  How  near  this  result 
has  been  reached,  the  following  pages  of  illustrations  will 
partially  show. 

The  hotel  is  conducted  on  the  "American"  plan,  its 
cuisine  and  service  being  unexcelled.  It  is  located  in  the  most 
fashionable  residence  section,  and  yet  in  such  close  proximity 


to  the  business  district  that  guests  can  reach  the  City  Hall, 
Board  of  Trade,  Theatres,  etc.,  in  a  few  moments'  time. 
To   those    seeking    quiet  and   luxurious 
surroundings,    "The    Virginia"    offers    advantages 
possessed  by  no  other  hotel  in  the  city. 

Room  Diagrams  and  rates  mailed  on 
application.  Special  rates  to  families  or  to  those 
making  an  extended  stay.
